The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius

My third visit to the Oberoi since 2008 and all hopes were completely exceeded. As part of a package with Emirates I was at another hotel on the island which was not a good fit for me. I don’t want to go into that at all other than to say that flying with Emirates has always been excellent and I would always fly with them even via Dubai, but I decided to pick up the phone to get myself transferred to the Oberoi and from the outset Aditya Vikram Pandey‘s team stepped up to assist me make a smooth transfer. Upon arrival the welcome was like a homecoming with Natasha and her team waiting for me with a cool towel lovely refreshing drink and a warm smile after my hour long taxi ride. I felt a sense of immediate relief knowing I’d made the right decision. The Oberoi is a magical place. The gardens are of Babylonian beauty tended to and maintained so immaculately the team looking after the gardens need a special mention. The beautifully thatched houses make the most fantastic rooms spacious high ceilings fabulous beds and sofas ..well stocked with coffee and tea water and milk all replaced daily and sometimes twice daily. It’s a heavenly place to stay for the beauty of the living space alone. For a frequent solo traveller like me, one of the challenges can be that you lack company during your stay but that isn’t an issue here at the Oberoi. Every single member of the team here are the most friendly charming helpful lovely people you could hope to meet. Honestly I will miss them all. They have been so delightful to me so welcoming and friendly as I leave here tonight it’s the people here I will miss the most. Usually I would name special people as stand out. I simply can’t distinguish as every single person here is exceptional. The Oberoi have created a gem of a place for discerning travellers to stay.It is simply faultless from my perspective. Now to the food. Just WOW….. just heavenly just delicious and perfectly cooked. Chef Deepak creates the most sensational dishes that have made such an impact on me. A journey through the best Indian cuisine cooked to perfection, presented with love and attention to detail. It’s been outstanding for me. I can’t say thank you enough to the catering team … the team in the restaurant are like friends to me now. The breakfast Dosa are so wonderful I’m going to try to make them when I get home. It’s hard for any business to create a proposition that delights their clientele, but to me .. this hotel has smashed that out of the ball park. To top it off … my last night here before a very sad departure the housekeeping team had prepared a beautiful rose petal bath with candles and scents .. just such a kind touch and a blissful night time experience. A little goodbye card so thoughtfully written with such lovely words that are so sincere and so appreciated. In a world where hotels often commoditise and manufacture a guest experience … the Oberoi transcends this by giving a piece of themselves and a lot of joy to thei
